Who are we?

Beausoleil Boudoir is sensuality manifested into images that you can share with a lover, the world, or keep to yourself.

New Orleans is so full of character and so much talent. When the Beausoleil Boudoir was created we wanted to give clients the opportunity to choose the style of boudoir that they like the most.

A different style, a different mood, and a different look, and just like every woman a different beauty. 

Do you love light, bright, playful boudoir or are you more of a dark, sultry, moody boudoir lover? With so many styles of sexy, we wanted to collaborate with some of the most talented artists in one of the most diverse and memorable cities imaginable.

 
 

About Us

I didn’t start this studio because I loved having my picture taken.

I started it because I didn’t.

For most of my life, I felt awkward in photos. Too this, not enough that. I’d look at other women and think, “They just have something I don’t.” It wasn’t until I did a boudoir session myself that everything changed. For the first time, I saw myself the way I felt inside—confident, sexy, powerful, soft, complicated… all of it.

That session flipped a switch in me. And I knew I had to help other women experience that, too.

Beausoleil Boudoir isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about claiming space. It’s about showing up exactly as you are and letting yourself be seen—fully, unapologetically, maybe for the first time in a long time.

We’ve created a space here that feels more like hanging out with friends who just happen to know how to pose you and light you like you’re on the cover of Vanity Fair. It’s fun. It’s emotional. Sometimes it’s a little wild. But it’s always real.

If you’ve ever felt like this kind of thing isn’t for you—you’re exactly who we built this for.

“Tina and David made me feel like I belonged in my own skin. I walked in nervous and walked out feeling electric.”

—Garnet, 37


What boudoir means to us

This isn’t about being “sexy for someone else.”
This is about finally feeling like yourself.

We work with women who are celebrating milestones, rebuilding after heartbreak, starting new chapters, or just ready to reconnect with the woman in the mirror. We hear the same thing all the time:

"I’m doing this for me."

And that’s exactly what we’re here for. Not to change you. Not to fix you. But to hold up a mirror and say—look how powerful you already are.

If you’ve ever worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, just wait until you meet David.

He’s my partner in photography—and the calm, goofy presence that puts everyone instantly at ease. He’s a little bashful, loves a bad joke, and has this quiet way of making you feel totally safe and seen.

David isn’t the type to be all over social media or the center of attention (he’d honestly rather hide behind the lens), but his eye for detail and the way he captures softness and strength in the same frame? It’s kind of magic.

Clients always tell us how much they love having him in the room—especially people who were nervous. There's just something about David that makes you let your guard down. And that’s when the really beautiful stuff happens.

Max joined our team when we started expanding into more erotica and couples work, and honestly? He just gets it.

He’s deeply intuitive, wildly creative, and has this grounded, respectful energy that makes even the spiciest sessions feel safe and empowered. Whether you’re doing a solo kink shoot or exploring something deeply personal with a partner, Max is the kind of person who makes space for all of it—with zero judgment and full support.

I trust him completely, and our clients do too. He’s not here for shock value or performative sexy—he’s here to help you feel seen in your rawest, most honest form. That’s what erotica should be. And that’s exactly what Max delivers.

You Belong Here If...

  • You’ve never done anything like this before, but something in your gut says you need to.

  • You’ve been waiting for the “right time”—but are starting to realize the time is now.

  • You want to feel sexy, celebrated, and free.

  • You’ve always told yourself you’re not photogenic.
    (We’re here to prove you wrong.)

IS BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ME?

Feeling nervous is completely normal! The fun part of the Beausoleil Boudoir experience is that it really is for the everyday woman! We believe confidence is the number one key to getting what you want out of life. A woman plus confidence, watch out! Whether your shoot is for that special someone or simply for your eyes only; you will never regret the end result! We have so much fun with you during the day of the shoot and once you see your amazing pictures, you'll be so happy you did this!

IS MY PHOTOGRAPHER A WOMAN OR A MAN?

You have a choice with the Beausoleil Boudoir! Everyone has their own unique style, as do our photographers. We urge you to choose your photographer based on their style and photography type since Tina, Max, David have a knack for putting clients at ease and a talent for boudoir. During your session, whether you shoot with Max or David, your boudoir stylist will be there for touch ups and posing guidance.

​​​​​​​WILL MY PHOTOS BE ON THE INTERNET?

Not unless you say it’s ok! Every client featured on this website and blog has given explicit permission to post her images. If you aren’t comfortable with any images being shared, we completely understand! Read our complete policy about client privacy here: Our Privacy Promise

I HAVE SOME IMPERFECTIONS. CAN YOU GET RID OF THEM?

In most cases, yes. Removal of small blemishes and skin softening is all part of the retouching process. Please note: We do not do extensive body reshaping as part of retouching. We want you to look as natural as possible. If there is something you feel self-conscious about, we can use poses and lighting to emphasize your best features.

WHAT IF I LOOK NOTHING LIKE THE GIRLS ON YOUR WEBSITE? I’M OLDER THAN, NOT AS THIN AS, MY SKIN DOESN'T LOOK FLAWLESS LIKE THE WOMEN ON YOUR WEBSITE, CAN I STILL BOOK A SESSION?

Waking up and rolling out of bed looking fabulous said no one ever! All of the girls on the website are everyday women just like you. With the use of hair, makeup, lighting, posing and sexy outfits; we've got you covered!

And remember not everyone is comfortable with their photos being online. We photograph many women over 50 and well into the plus sizes. What we promise is that we will create images to flatter YOU. We want to your personality to show.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POSE!?

We never expect you to pose yourself. We will be guiding you on poses to accentuate your best features. We will be instructing you on where to look, where to put your hands/feet; the whole thing! Tina has YEARS of boudoir experience both behind the scenes and in front of the camera - she will be at your session to help pose you and guide you through the process and make sure you look your best!

DO I BRING MY OWN LINGERIE, OR DO YOU PROVIDE THE OUTFITS?

You need to bring your own lingerie to the photo shoot. Select outfits that suit your personality and body shape, and complement your skin tone. Not sure where to start with that? We have friends in sexy places to help you - our wardrobe stylists can help with outfit ideas, or if you’d like to book a consultation to discuss wardrobe, send me an email!

WHAT ABOUT HAIR AND MAKEUP, DO I DO IT MYSELF?

Hair and makeup is included in every All Inclusive Package we offer. Our stylists have been hand-picked for their talents and professionalism. We want to provide an experience that makes you feel beautiful and pampered.

CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO MY SHOOT?

We love to keep the focus on you so we recommend that you set aside your boudoir time as "me time". If you feel more comfortable with a friend coming along, you are more than welcome to bring them. But, please limit guest to 1 per shoot and we will ask them to enjoy our lobby while we shoot. (There are plenty of bars, museums and entertainment around if your guest wants to check out our space before we shoot and needs something to do while we make you glamorous!)

WHERE DO THE SHOOTS TAKE PLACE?

In New Orleans at our luxury studio located at 2106 Milan Ave. We have created the ultimate pampering boudoir location for our clients in our gorgeous New Orleans abode - We are located within a classic Victoria era fourplex with a lovely wrap around balcony. We are also available for travel to your hotel in New Orleans and surrounding cities, shoots are done (by appointment only) in luxe hotels, architecturally distinct historic buildings, beautifully restored Victorian mansions and other hand-selected locations. Location will be chosen based on consultation and confirmed and sent to you prior to your shoot. We do offer in-home sessions at private residences as well. Just let us know beforehand!

I’M READY TO BOOK A SHOOT, WHAT’S NEXT?

Once you let me know what date you’d like to shoot we will send you a booking proposal and contract. The contract must be signed and a non-refundable retainer is due to reserve your shoot day/time. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of your shoot. But, as always we also offer pre-payment plans if you need a bit of flexibility in order to purchase the package you really want.

I’M NOT SURE WHAT Á LA CARTE ITEMS I WANT TO ORDER YET, CAN I DECIDE WHEN I SEE MY PHOTOS?

Absolutely! After the shoot we will have a personal viewing session to view your images and discuss product options where we will choose your best images together and pick the perfect product for them. Once you decide on what you’d like to order (additional albums, individual prints, canvases, paintings etc), 50% of the total is due to begin work on the design and the remaining balance is due when you pick up your order. We do not release product orders without full payment.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?

Due to the custom nature of photography, the session price and any products ordered are non-refundable. You have final say on the retouching and any custom album design and nothing goes to print without your approval.

Do it for YOU!
